Ok I’m moving backwards a little bit…back to the end of October!  I told you I was behind on topics I wanted to cover.  For a slight second, I thought about skipping a few on my list, and then I came to my senses.  This journal is for my kids to look back at when time allows, enjoy and reminisce !  According to Jake, we could’ve skipped this one because they came home with 2nd place medals.  Jake and his 5th/6th grade competitive soccer team competed in the KC Fall Finale at Lone Elm Park.  Drew was also participating as a guest player on a 3rd grade team with a few of his past teammates.  It was a weekend full of soccer, great athleticism, and lots of fun.  Both of them were not 100%  satisfied with silver medals around their necks…they would much prefer gold.  In my opinion, any color medal is fabulous as long as you gave it all you had.  Rarely do I see my boys not giving it everything, so I’m 100% satisfied.  Boys, let this be a lesson, not all memories are going to be your favorite ones.  There are ups and downs and you should be proud of what you did to help your teams.  Both of you are amazing team players!
